At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,
which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end
poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by
2030. The SDGs promise to become the most suitable global framework to
unify business goals with stakeholder expectations.
Find out in this webinar
why the SDG’s are becoming important
- how companies find value in using the SDGs
- how they are already responding to the SDGs and implementing them in practice
- how they align the SDGs with their business strategies and GRI/UNGC/CDP-reporting frameworks
Professionals from business, government, NGOs and academia focused on
corporate affairs, reputation, communications, corporate
responsibility/sustainability and stakeholder engagement will find this
webinar of particular interest.
